At startup, the IDE uses the default web browser for your platform, such as Internet Explorer, to view and test your web applications. If desired, you can use different web browsers, such as Netscape or Mozilla. You can also specify command-line settings for each type of web browser and add different browsers.

  1. From the main menu, choose Tools > Options.
     
  2. In the Options window, select the Basic view.
     
  3. Under the General Settings node, click System Settings.
     
  4. In the Properties node on the right side of the window, select the web browser to use from the Web Browser dropdown.
     
    If your web browser is not in the list, see "To add a new web browser" below.
